I wonder if this effect has a name and whether it can be applied to computer security too? For instance, having a pro-encryption-backdoor president inadvertently increasing security.
*republican in name only
- lykr0n 9y agoGuns are easy to make if you have the right tools. There will always be someone making and selling; even if it is the local store down the road. This will change nothing. Arms sales are a big market. I think what happened here is that Remington took a bet on the Civilian Market in the US and lost.

- icelancer 9y ago>> Guns are easy to make if you have the right tools. That's a bit much. Rifling barrels is not a trivial task.
- jessaustin 9y agoIt's more trivial now than it was when they did it in the 18th century...
- philipwhiuk 9y agoI don't think anyone anti-gun really sees this as a victory. I doubt the closure of Remington will reduce gun sales.
